That would be my first SMASHED, and I don't know a lot about whisky
(though I am a regular wine taster and am willing to learn), but I
totally agree on the idea. I was planning on bringing a local liquor,
which is definitely not whisky, but which has a pretty rich taste, not
sure that "works" for SMASHED ?
